A Field Guide to Awkward Silences by Alexandra Petri

I found this collection of humorous writings about the author's inherent awkwardness to be hit or miss.  This is my introduction to Petri's essay writing and I found some of her anecdotes (especially the ones concerning a Pun Competition and her Jeopardy experience) laugh-out-loud funny.  There were probably more, though, that were just plain silly.  So while this was a pleasant book to read, I wouldn't say it was my favorite book of humor.  I received an eGalley of this book in exchange for an honest review.
